Getting from the chapel to the reception site usually calls for a vehicle- traditionally a limousine. But if you want to try something a bit different how about a vintage V.W. Volkswagen bus. Talk about fun!

People have asked me where the name for my blog Nibs comes from. While I was planning a blog, I had a collection of possible names that I emailed to friends and family for their opinion- Nibs was the clear winner! It’s really a play on the word nib which by definition is the point of a pen or pencil.

The first time I heard the word frock was when I worked for Laura Ashley– the company synonymous with pretty floral dresses or should I say frocks. After several years of hearing it, it became part of my vocabulary. So, when I received the Lord and Taylor catalog with the title “THE BLUES party frocks” I was pleasantly surprised!

Most couples in the 1940’s had small weddings that were sweet and simple- ceremonies were either done at home or in the church they attended, cake and coffee were served in dining rooms or church basements, photographs were taken by friends or family members and the honeymoon was a trip to Niagara Falls. To tell you the truth, I love this kind of wedding! Don’t you?!
